Benefits of technology
This patent is about a portable music amplifier that has a compartment for storing audio accessories and a feature that allows the external housing and cover to be easily swapped. The amplifier can use repurposed materials, like food or beverage containers, and the interior of the amplifier can also be upgraded with new components. The invention also allows for easy customization of the amplifier with after-purchase modifications. The technical effects of this patent are the improved convenience and flexibility of the portable music amplifier, making it more user-friendly and customizable.
Problems solved by technology
Audio amplifiers currently on the market offer no opportunity for users to express themselves and to be creative via customization of their product after purchase.
This device offers no storage compartment inside of the product to store the audio device, cord, nor other accessories such as batteries, adapters, and personal items.
The product cannot be customized after purchase.
However, no portable amplifier product which utilizes repurposed materials offers a storage compartment in which the user can store audio accessories such as cords, guitar picks, adapters, batteries, or even the portable audio device itself.
Currently, users of the second type of device must transport individual accessories (listed previously) separately, making transportation more complicated and increasing the chances of lost or misplaced accessories.
In addition, such devices cannot be customized after purchase.
Therefore, this product does not utilize “repurposed materials.” Furthermore, the amplifier cannot be customized after purchase.

A portable audio amplifier for a portable audio device or musical instrument that includes an internal housing and an exchangeable external housing and exchangeable cover, as well as a storage compartment is described. The storage compartment, which is contained in the internal housing, may contain a cord and other audio accessories such as picks, batteries, adapters, or personal items. The storage compartment can be opened through various methods, including translation, swiveling, pivoting, or sliding of a cover. The amplifier's external housing and / or cover may be customized by the user after purchase using exchangeable elements. Exchangeable external housing options, which act like a skin for the amplifier, include both manufactured housings (designed specifically as an external housing for the audio amplifier) and repurposed housings (designed for a primary purpose other than audio amplification). An adaptive structure may be used to adapt the dimensions of the internal housing to a larger, external housing.
